Inaugural flight of the Air Force One new jets
As we reported earlier, India purchased three brand new Boeing Business Jets fitted with lots of bling for our beloved leaders. Well, we have good news for you - the jets have been formally inducted with our President taking one of them for a joyride to Arunachal Pradesh via Assam.
The only problem we have is with the names. Rajdoot, Rajhans and Rajkamal? These unsexy names are so yesterday. We recommend Pratibha, Mohini and Sonia. Come to think of it, these names will have great utility value for the staffers - no confusion about which jet is going where carrying who etc.
There is also a concern about the EUMA (end-user monitoring agreement). This is a fallout of the Nuke deal, more on this later.
Number of Boeing BBJ: 3
Total cost to taxpayer: ~ Rs. 1000 crores
Total Number of new slumdogs made during UPA rule: 55 million

>> It is extraordinary how political parties shy away from decisive facts, and chase ephemeral ones.
How true! It is heartening to see this kind of talk in the media.
We already talked about the grand anomaly of the OBC population of West Bengal and how the muslims there might soon alight the toy train ride of 50 years.
Facts have a way of resolving themselves even if some of the pillars of democracy run away from scrutiny. Its kind of ugly though as you might have guessed.
Now is the time to remind oneself of what Sonia and MMS said about the BMWs that Vajpayee government bought.
